This is Dale Jr., and you're listening to Dirty Moe Radio. Outside, door, bumper, clear the 18th, best car I had here in a long time. You're going to do it. You're going to win it. Right with you. You're clear. Check the flag. You win.

Oh, yeah! Hey, everybody. I'm DJ Majors. Spotter of the 22-cup car, the 22-Xfinity car this week, and the 25 truck. Joining me is my normal co-host. Brett Griffin's Spotter for Clint Boyer, Elliot Sadler, and Mike Snyder, I've got to say a big thanks to one main financial lending done human for sponsoring our podcast today. And we have a big time.

Yeah, we went way above and beyond. We've outpunted our coverage. It's big. Again. Our new co-host is. Hey, guys. I'm Casey Heems. I work in marketing for within the NASCAR Exfinity series.

So I get to hang out with these guys each weekend at the track. I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing. You are our first pick to do what you're doing. So don't screw this up. I feel so honored. If I suck, just let me know. And, well, you guys are out of love. We only have one rule.

You can't suck. Right, TJ? Yeah, I mean, you have to be awesome. Yeah. Well, then I'll take it. You just have to be awesome. That's the bottom line. So Casey got engaged.

Yeah, and the big off season. I did. I didn't think it was going to happen. You did? No, no, not a clue. I thought that it was going to be like another year, or at least I kept telling Chad that. Where'd you go to get engaged?

Well, I was supposed to get engaged. I got engaged on the Lake Cornelius, Lake Orman area. I was actually late to my engagement because of a meeting that I had, so Chad will never let me forget that. He said we were going to dinner for his dad's birthday. The whole time I was like, this is my last off weekend. Like, you better make the most of it. I was such a brat.

I honestly can't believe I did that. I can't imagine a woman. I can't imagine a woman doing that. Yeah. Sounds weird. I feel like that's how it always goes, though. You have to be a brat. And then they make up for it.

And then you feel bad. So how did he do it? Like, is it just handed to you? Did he put it on the end of a hook or something? If he did that, I don't know if I would have said yes. Why? No, I'm just kidding. So he actually said, we're going to dinner.

He told me that he left, his parents left their phone at home on the lake. So went out to his parents' house. He was complaining the whole time. about having the backtrack, you know, all the good stuff. And then I'm complaining about it being my last off weekend and that he better make it fun for me, you know, says he'll be right back, gets out of the car, goes outside to, like, get the phone. And I can't believe I believe this, but he told me that he called me and tells me, hey, you know, like the guy's house next door, they just knocked down half the house. I don't know why I decided to, like, take, believe it and go, but walked out in the beach. back. I was like, oh, okay, weird. Walked out and back, and then there were rose petals and, like, all the good stuff. So did he cry?

I don't think I should tell you that. I'm asking you. That's not how this show works. Pretty sure we know the answer to that now. Did he cry? He did. He started tearing up when he got on one knee. And then I started tearing up. Here's this tough race car driver guy. Yeah, that's for kid. How many people were there? So he hired a photographer off to the side, which I did not realize I didn't really try. This guy's on it. I know. Yeah. And then he actually flew my entire family in. And they were sitting on the balcony. This guy's making us look like an ass-a-d-jee. He flew your whole family?

Oh, he did. Like my sister from California and that came out from Florida. What if she said no? I'm just saying it. It was almost like you couldn't say no at that point. That's what I'm saying. You couldn't say no. This is a brilliant idea of this guy.

He put a girl in a situation where she could not say no. Big pressure. I will admit. He did well. I'll give him that. And now it's up to me to plan the wedding. He set a really high standard for the rest of this marriage, though. Yeah.

Yeah. Well, how did you guys do it? I'm not telling you. Over a ham sandwich. Mine is not serious. Think about how sweet and romantic yours was. Mine was nothing like that. God.

Did you cry? Did you like to start crying? I mean, I did. I started tearing up. And then when my parents came down, I started crying even more. And then the photographer's like, oh, let's just take could tell the pictures and I was like, well, no clue.

So, Jason, when you go to get engaged, you got to fly the family and you got to get a photographer. All right down. He hadn't even been to a strip club, bro. He's nowhere near engaged. I've got a little time. No, but that might lead to engagement.

The big thing is that when you take her ring shopping, make sure you really make it look like you are going nowhere near like $1,000 from this train. All right. So that's the trick. Just don't take her ring shopping. Don't do that. Don't do that.

Don't ever do. Because they're going to look over here and be like, all these are great. But yeah, over here. You're like, uh, whoa. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Good to know. Just don't get married. Just don't get married. Forget it. It's overrated. Man. Look, rubber ring cheap. Honestly, I told Chad, I was like, you can propose with a ring pop and I'll be good.

I'm so glad he didn't do that because I was kind of worried there for a second. I would have done it. I would have done it. I would have done it. Yeah. Sounds like to me. Bing. Sounds like to me he set a really high bar.

Yeah, good luck for everybody else at this point. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Jason turned 20 over the weekend. Yeah, a big party. Did you get those Gamecock pants for your birthday? No.

I did see. Oh, they are kind of Gamecox right. I did go to a store down in Myrtle Beach and all they had is Clemson, South Carolina. So for your birthday, he went to Myrtle Beach. He went to Myrtle Beach for his birthday, had a good dinner, and was in bed by a 30. Yeah. The truck race was on. so it was like 10.

Well, next year. How was Disney? What's your ride? What's your best ride your ride? Disney is chaotic. Did you ride an avatar? Yes. Oh, no.

Wife and kid did. They wrote the banshee one? Oh, yeah. Or they rode the river one. Yeah, dude, I own a banshee. Yeah. Like one of the, it sits on your shoulder. The pteradactal thing?

What? Yeah. One that looks around. Yeah. You hit these little buttons and it's like, bar. Yeah. And it does stuff.

Yeah, it sits on a shoulder. It's weird. I don't know what it is. They come out of there and say, I got to have that. Have you seen the movie Avatar where the blue people run around? Yes. What's what they are? The blue people.

Alien-looking things. So whatever they are, like you literally, I wrote it a few times. The first time you ride it, you're overwhelmed with the way it makes your brain and your body feel because you're on this little seat and you're really not moving a lot, but you think you're flying. The next time you ride it, you're like, okay, I'm a character in the movie for four and a half minutes is what it feels like. So you had like the blue outfit on and you were all saying? No. You're looking at this crazy story. screen with 3D, 4D, 6D, whatever D.

It's like a little motorcycle thing you're sitting on kind of right? It's like a little, yeah. Something. Anyway, you're going forward. You're flying through this jungle. I've heard it compared to Soren. It is. Like where you, it's just a huge, yeah, it's like a huge round screen in front of you.

And you, like, push up in the air and you're, like, moving around and stuff. Yeah. They were gone for 45 minutes and the six-month-old screamed the whole time. So, yeah. You were left with a treat. I was left with a screen. screaming child. It was all.

And I looked there and she looked at me and she's like, you're not putting me to sleep. It's so funny because everybody's like the happiest place on earth and you sit on a bench and you look at all these people and they look like they're just absolutely miserable. They spend $150 to come standing three hour life. But they all have the mouse ears on. I mean, honestly, what is better people watching at Disney or at the race track? Racetrack. Race track. Because everybody like Disney looks miserable.

Yeah. Everybody like. Don't think. Yeah, I mean, to an extent, most time Disney, you go in there and it's like all these tough guys show up. Yeah, I'm not wearing. Look at that guy in that goofy show. I'm never going to wear that. Like two days later, you have one on.

The matching outfits on, right? I'm going to tell you what? I don't match outfits. No, I don't know. FBI and the CIA, if they want to be able to cure domestic violence, all they got to do is put satellites on Disney and watch because I've seen couples almost come to blows. Kids get snatched up by their ears. Like, all they got to do is watch there and then follow them home and go arrest them. That's the people that are acting crazy.

I mean, that's okay. That's reasonable. So Elliot and the kids did all four parks in one day. I don't even know how you would do that. At Disney. You look miserable. That's how you do it. Can you imagine?

No, I wouldn't. I didn't even want to. No. Wouldn't even go. It was Wyatt's birthday. And he's like, I want to do four parks in one day. I'm like, I want to go to the racetrack. We did like a couple.

We would get up at leave at like 7th. 3 in the morning, come back. We were back by like 12 or 1 half the time. Then you'd be at the cab. We stay at the cabin. So we stay there for a few hours. And we would go out. Wilderness?

We stayed at a fort. Yeah, wilderness deal. Yeah. And one day, got a cabin's cool. Yeah. We went fishing. There's a little dock there too. We went out there and got on a little bass boat thing and went fishing for a couple hours too.

Yeah, there's a lot to do in there. Yeah. Riding horses? Yeah. My wife does. Do you ride a horse? No, I'm not riding a horse. My wife does travel stuff for Disney.

So we, she has a. I'm lucky because you get to stay free. Well, no, we have a set plan. Like, she knows like, hey, we're going to be here. We got fast faster for this. She has it all. I go and it's like, hey, we're going to ride this ride. If you plan it out, you don't have to wait.

Yeah. So it's always good to have a plan. If you go there with no plan, miserable. So how about the, you know how long the weight was for that avatar ride? Three hours. It's 240 minutes on the sign. And I was sitting there. Why would you do that?

Like, why would you stay in that line? I don't know. For a four minute ride. I held a screaming child for 45 minutes. I'm not late. on my four hours to meet Michael Jackson. Like, I'm not doing anything for four hours online. I find that hard to believe.

You would wait three hours and meet Michael Jackson. Yeah, I don't know. I know you. I can't. You would. But I can't. But if you would. Maybe you would.

Maybe Janet. Take some out of it. Why did Denny make this comment off, even if it's off the cut? So Denny makes this comment about 70% of drivers are taking out of all. Denny gets ridiculed. He gets called to the trailer. by NASCAR, then he basically retracts it and said, hey, I was joking.

Why would you even joke about a comment like that? What's the gain of that, T.J.? You know, I don't know. I don't, I don't, sometimes, some of these drivers tend to say some things that they come back on, and I think this is one that's just kind of bit him a little bit. I think, you know, there probably are some that have a prescription for it or whatever, maybe.

I don't know. I mean, it's common. I mean, I have a little bit of ADD. But it's pretty common. Yeah. It's not a lot. It's nothing that's uncommon, but I just think this is one of them comments where it's just better. I don't even know why you would make it.

I think he's trying to be funny, and he just missed. He overstated, obviously. That could be the, we all exaggerate. I mean, we've heard of a driver getting kicked out for taking out of roll. We don't know that for a fact. But the inner industry gossip was, a driver got kicked out. A cup driver, mind you. Was suspended indefinitely.

he eventually came back, races now, and it was suspected that it was Adderall. Had to go through the whole program, too. If you don't have a prescription for this, it's a big allegation, and it could potentially give you an edge because it helps you focus, right? Maybe we need it. I don't know. 70% of spotters need to take it. Because I saw some people make some dumb-ass moves for the weekend.

Maybe they need to take out of it. I did see some risky decision-making. Extremely risky. Well, Casey, welcome to the show. You now have to quarterback this circus. I mean, the only advice I was given is if you can handle Brett, you're okay. So I guess that's a good time. I'm a love or not a fighter.

That's true. I said to watch out for Brett. Honestly, the first time you called me and asked me to, if I'd be interested, I was like, okay, so does Brett have anything on me that he can bring up during the show? Yes. And when I couldn't think of anything at the time, I was like, all right, I could do this for now. This will probably change real quick, but... We already have something.

The first thing I asked her... Your engagement should be like a TV show. The first thing I asked her, I said, hey, have you ever listened to the show? And she says, of course. I'm like, I forgot. One of the millions. One of the millions.

Everybody's listened. You have to. All right, guys. Are you headed to spot on, spot off? Let's do it. Number three car wins the 500 again. 20 years later, spot on, spot off. Spot on, man.

There's only three car numbers, in my opinion. that are iconic in our sport. And I think those are the three, the 21, and the 43. So for the three to be able to win is a big deal. I just don't want it to be a bigger deal than the fact that it was Austin Dillon driving it. Because let's be honest with each other, the three is iconic, but it's been irrelevant for 20 years as well. They made the announcement. I think you want to fuel mileage race last year at Charlotte or whatever.

He pulled off there. But he's not been a contender weekend and week out to make that number sustainable. whatever level of love we all had for it, just like the 21 went through a lull after Morgan Shepard got in it. And the 43 went into a lull after John Andredi got in it. Like, it's hard to keep that number elite all the time. So I think it's an awesome spot on that the car won. It's crazy that it was 20 years to the date. I saw another statistic that, you know, Harvick won, however many years it was, when this date fell again and obviously with Austin's team now and car now. But, man, I think it's great for the sport. Yeah, I don't think.

Daytona and Daytona and the three car are just hooked. You know, they are, when you think of that place, you think of the three. I mean, that's why it's, to me, that's so special there. It's kind of cool that the dates kind of line up like that, but the three winning at Daytona, that's the place where when it won, he went down pit road and everybody was out there. I mean, that's something that you don't see. There's only two times that I can, there's only one time that I've seen it personally.

which was last year. You know, when Dale Jr. went down pit road, it was kind of cool to see all the guys come out and do that. Right, right. You know, the three is just linked to that place, and it's special when it wins there. Yeah. I mean, Dale Jr. driving a three-rangler car, you know. Yeah, and then even... It's nostalgic to see it happen.

It is. And it's good. It's good. I think it sits well with a lot of people just because it's a three car, and there's a lot of Dale senior fans out there, which is awesome. And it sits really well with them, which I, and I think it's... cool. One thing I think is cool that is I saw Bubba stopped at DEI and took a picture in front of it. That was cool. I thought that was really thoughtful and cool. So yeah, I'm spot on. Pretty cool. Another Daytona 500 though, where the winner wins the race and almost comes out of nowhere.

Not a guy who led laps prior to that. Not a guy who we saw up front a lot throughout the day. I mean, I think Blaney led over 100 laps of the race. He's the guy that you're looking to be able to win. Kurt Busch is up there. You guys were up there. The two is up there. It's hard to believe that, you know, it's not a Cinderella story because we know the three is a big deal at Daytona. Obviously, Richard Childers Racing, a big deal at Daytona. But kind of driver-wise, he was right place, right time, right? He was right place, right time. He got, you know, coming off turn two, he was two by two, got the right push from behind.

With Bubba. With Bubba and had a chance to make a move, kind of got blocked, and wasn't having it. Yeah. So, you know, everything kind of lined up right for him. he still had to make something happen there whether he got beside eric or whether he hit him or whatever however he's going to pass him he still had to make something happen hats off to andy houston spotter for austin dillon former driver racing in trucks very accomplished guy there got to the cup series with cow wells ran pretty good i was always a big houston fan because of his dad and uh congrats to him man

day ton of 500 one spotter it's a big deal i like Andy a lot too i did yell at him a couple days ago Did you what happened? We sat there on pit road and waited for like five, six minutes. There's only like 10 of us up there, so it's not really hard to get a nice clean spot on the racetrack. Yeah. Rolls right out. We're out there on our like second lap. Here he comes.

It's all right out in front. He was like, are you serious? Andy screwed you and then he won the 500. And then, yep, I guess he'll probably do it again next year. Yeah, I do it this week. I do it every week. Yeah. Bubble Wallace finishes P2 in his first 500 and gets very emotional at his press conference.

Spot on, spot off, T.J. You know, I'm spot on. Bubba's worked really hard to get in this position. He's probably never had this much media attention. This is his first time getting a lot of attention like this. And he's had a pretty successful. He's raced a really smart speedweeks. He's ran, he hasn't made any mistakes.

He hasn't put himself in any trouble. I've seen him get hung in the middle one time there and get shuffled back, but he worked his way back to the front. So I am, you know, I'm spot on for Bubba being, you know, handling, and he handles the spotlight well, in my opinion. He's very, very realistic. Like, he's just real. Like, you don't get, it's not like a robot up there.

I'd like to think this, this, and this. He's like, you can tell it's raw emotion, and he brings it out. So, and I've gotten the no bubble a little bit over the last few years, and really good dude, man. I'm really happy for him. So his mom comes up, she hugs him, tells him she loves him, tell, I mean, realistically is expressing about. this journey is now worth it.

Because we all know racing is a struggle. Racing is a struggle and you struggle more than you succeed. I mean, you're one person against 39 other people. You're competing for sponsors and good crew chiefs. I mean, we all know how hard racing can be. We live it every day. But I think it all just culminated to him melting down and rightfully so. I mean, he came to the Cup Series and I think Ford had a lot to do with getting him in that

43 car last year. And he ran a lot better in that car than it had been running. at a lot of points during the year, turned a lot of heads. He's at RPM. They've only sold about a third of their races this year. So not only does this put Bubba on the map as, hey, I'm here, I can run second in the Daytona 500. It also swings open a lot of doors.

We all know Bubba's a niche. Danica's a niche. She's a female. He's an African-American driver. So if he can go out and be successful, it's got won four truck races in one year at KBM. He can drive. But if he can be successful on the racetrack and improve it this early in the season, this may bring in some real money for the rest of the year.

Yeah, I think definitely a good start. Definitely a good start. Cool. J.R.M. Photo Finish, the closest in NASCAR history. Spot on, spot off. I wanted to cry. Spot off. God.

That was the hotel. So close. You know, I'm all for a good race, and I thought it was a great race to watch. I knew going to turn three that it was going to get really close. So, you know, I think that's a, that right there made the 45 green white checker attempts worth it to me. I agree. You know, the fans deserve to see that finish, and we gave it to them. It might have taken.

People can say it took, oh, it took two hours longer. I don't care. You're there to see a race. You got to see the race, and you saw the closest race in NASCAR history because you toughed that out. At the fourth attempt of the green white checker, I said to him, I said to my son. is this embarrassing or is this entertaining? And I said, as an industry guy, you're almost thinking, man, this is over the top too much, is kind of embarrassing.

Then I said, but if I were sitting in these stands drinking a beer and watching this race, I'd be having the time of my life. So fans deserve to see games in, and however many overtimes it takes. I don't care if it's football, hockey, soccer, or fuzzball, ice skate, and whatever. Watch the game end, and that's what we're giving these people now. We took away that stupid overtime line. where at Daytona, Daytona, we didn't even get up to full speed. We fixed that problem.

This is a huge win for fans. Spot off for where I finished, spot on for one hell of a race. Yeah, it was a great race. I'm glad I mean, I wasn't there. I left. But I guess the radio guys that were covering the show basically said, it's a tie. Because they're not looking at the monitors like the television guys are. And so all the spotters that were wrecked out like you were that were listening on the radio on the ride back to the hotel,

they were like, man, we didn't know who won for a while. Yeah. On TV, I mean, I thought Redick had it. You could just barely see it, but man, it was close. I was standing in Victory Lane with NASCAR, and they're like, we don't know what to tell you. Like, we're not sure. We're reading on the official call. It was that close, which I think was so exciting. Point zero, zero.

Did you hear Brad in the booth? He did a really, I only caught the end of it there, but he was doing really, like, off of two. And he's like, this is going to be a photo finish. This is going to be a great finish. Like, he knew it was coming. which I thought was pretty cool. It's obviously big for J.R.M. to go one and two.

Also, Tyler Reddick, I mean, just got here. Win as a young driver, certainly not a rookie, but a young driver. And it sets him up with a lot of points for the year. And obviously a win. He's locked in the chase already. Winner to Daytona means a lot for this chase stuff. So, yeah. Yeah.

It's also cool to see where Tyler came from, too, where he's worked his way up and he's one of those guys that I think he'll be one to watch, especially, like. like the names are made here deal. Right. He is one of those guys that will make his name here. Yeah. I mean, now the pressure's on Tyler now, though,

because now he has to win it a real track. You know, not that Daytona's not a real track, but we had, you know, half, three quarters of the field was in an accident there. So, you know, you didn't have them the whole pack breathing. I mean, Johnny Davis car was like fourth or fifth or something. Right. Nothing to get it. But that's like not characteristic.

But, you know, Tyler is definitely going in the right direction. It's always good to come somewhere. and get a win right off the bat. Just he can't get complacent. I mean, one thing I'll say about William. You can't get comfortable here and be like, oh, I'm in. You have to dig every week. One thing I'm going to say about William Byron is if he stays true to who he was to get to where he's at now is he works extremely hard all week long of being a good race car driver.

He doesn't stop working. He's constantly watching film. He's constantly leaning on his teammates. I mean, I know Elliot was a pretty big mentor in his career last year. And that's what Tyler's got to do. He's got to work hard. because Jimmy Johnson didn't get here and just have all this God-given talent. He outworked these guys physically, mentally, and he won seven championships doing it.

So hard work pays off at the end of the day. I mean, Tony Stewart, extremely talented race car driver. He worked by racing a lot of races and a lot of different stuff. Jimmy worked a lot of different races in a lot of different ways. Both of them extremely successful, but Jimmy probably outworked Tony outside of the car. 88 and 1 black flags for locking bumpers in the Xfinity Series race. Spot on, spot off. Man, this pissed me off.

I'm sure it did. But here's why it pisses me off. They haven't called it in five years. I mean, so we don't know. It's so random when they do. We don't know when they're going to call it. And I'll ask all of you to do this. Go back and watch the end of the Xfinity race.

We were all the top six cars had three different sets of tammoms with lock bumpers for over 20 seconds on that last restart. So theoretically, they could have black flagged all the whole top six. And they didn't. So we locked bumpers for three seconds, but later in the race, it's allowed to be locked bumpers for 20 plus seconds. This is a hard rule for us as spotters to say, get off his bumper, because we don't know where the time limit is and we don't know when it's going to be called. Yeah, you know.

You lock bumpers, I saw you during the race. We didn't lock for, I mean, we locked for a real short period of time. I saw this happen. What's the period of time? I don't know. I saw this happen and was, I mean, it was a race. behind us. You were right behind us. I'm like, you're right beside. I think you were behind us. We were trying to take the lead from Chase and he just kept coming, kept coming, kept coming.

I threw my binoculars. I thought we had got to his right rear because that's how tight it was. But we didn't. So when we picked him up, yes, you are connected and you're asking the driver who has the momentum, who's trying to take the lead, who's competing to get out of the throttle. Yeah. For some reason I thought we were in front of you at that point. You may have been right in front of me or we may have we made because i was washing it because i was counting the gap we made it we we might have just went by you yeah so i remember counting and i'm like wow they're hooked up up there just keeping eye on them you know and and i saw it happen joy and elliott are the masters at this yeah they do it all i mean talliega i've seen them look look up for like a lap yeah they're the masters

at it but i don't know when they're going to call it when they're not going to call it though that's what makes me spot off about it is i don't know when it's enforced yeah or i mean i mean hey if you get hooked for more than three seconds you're a substitute you know i don't know say something Give us something. Yeah. Like, give us, we need to understand. In basketball, you have a shot clock. In football, you have a play clock.

Like, we don't, we just kind of are, oh, black, black fight these guys. It's hard. Should they get rid of the rule? Yes. I don't know about that. Yes, get rid of it. Because then we're just going to push all races. It's going to turn into tandem racing again.

Get rid of. I'm not a big fan of tandem racing, so. Is there a time frame, like, in the rules? No, just kind of. No, it's judgment. Not that we were told in a spotters meeting. were just told you can't lock bumpers. Yeah.

Okay. And I'm not going to lie. That when you got, didn't even do anything. No, we didn't change anything. I didn't. I didn't see any big gain out of it.

So. No. And it was so late after they called it. Like when they called it, I was like, I don't know when they're even talking about. It was probably the length of the, it was probably the length of the backstretched.

It was probably, I mean, yeah, it was about the length of the backstretch to me. So is what it is. Mm-hmm. Talked about the. this earlier, five overtimes, 57.5 extra miles and 23 extra laps on Saturday's

Xfinity Series race. Yeah, spot on. It's irrelevant because of the finish, in my opinion. It could have been 100 extra miles if it worked out. Yeah, man, I'm spot on too. I think like we said, you pay, you invest your time if you're at home, watch TV, listen on radio, following on an app. Like, it was insane.

Entertainment factor of 100. I watched this race. You know, I'm spotting. this race and I'm thinking this is once again going to be the best race of Speedweek. Sixthinity race every year at Daytona puts on a hell of a show. And then Sunday I was worried about the Daytona 500, but man, I thought it was pretty dang excited too. This was the best rules package we've had in those two series in a long time, collectively

speaking. Even the Archer race, the package they got there got quite a bit better for the, for Daytona. Yeah. Danica's last stock car race. I got that. I had an idea. yesterday. It was too late.

You know where you can get those apps and it'll take like a male face and a female face and it'll put together. Yeah. Face swap? No, not. Or face swap. Like morph. Yeah, like that guy made it on Twitter that one.

Just think if we could have went to the American Girl Doll people and said, hey, let's take Danica, let's take Aaron Rogers, let's morph their faces, let's produce an American Girl Doll baby and have an American Girl Doll sponsorship in her last Daytona 500. That would have been way better than GoDaddy. I don't even know what to say about that. It's just an idea. Danica and Aaron, we could call her Darren or him. We could even cross some of these gender lines with this thing.

I don't care. This is a marketing idea that could have made a gazillion dollar selling dolls. I have no feedback. Any other type of dolls? Is it too late for us to do this? Can we do this? Elliot? Our sales?

No. No, no. This is about Danica and Aaron. Okay. This is about Darren. Damn. And morphing them together and making a baby doll and selling it. Any other type of dolls?

I can only imagine. It was just the doll people. I mean, you can still propose it, like, by all means. Let's see what happens. I need to own the intellectual property of this before I take it to the American Girl doll people. But it's too late to run the American Girl doll car unless we do it at Indy. Indy could work. Nobody watches Indie.

Why don't we use Barbies are cheaper? Who watches indie cars? Let's do Barbies. They're a lot cheaper, man. Really? Oh, American Dolls are expensive. Well, Billy O's got that 3D printer. Maybe we can print some.

So maybe we can just bring them. We got an American Doll catalog in the mail before Christmas. Can we put her in a door bumper clear t-shirt? Yeah, we can do it. A hoodie? Maybe a hoodie or something? Yeah. Cut off.

Yeah, whatever. Is anybody else on board with this? I don't really know. When you see the price of an American doll, you're probably. They're not going to be out bored. I have weird dreams sometimes, and then I wake up with these weird ideas. Got that right. Danica's last stock car race, T.J., spot on, spot off.

I think she kind of did it right. She kind of had a send-off instead of just, you know, just I'm leaving, gone after this one. You know, I kind of had to build up for it a little bit. It was some news in the off-season, which was good. She brought Aaron Rogers to the track, so that was cool. He didn't talk to the media at all, though. I avoided that completely. Nothing in the spotlight.

Man, he's not there to talk to the media. He's not there to be of Aaron Rogers, the football player. He's there to be a supporting boyfriend. Leave a lot alone. I mean. Yeah, I thought it was good, though. She got to say, you know, on the big stage, biggest race, she has done a lot for the sport.

So I feel like she got, you know, it didn't end the way she wanted there, but she had a proper send-off there. I hate to see it be her last stock car race. I do, too. From a marketing perspective, a branding perspective, She's a genius. You know, unfortunately, her competition didn't live up to the other two sides of it.

And when the sponsorship dried up, because the competitiveness wasn't there, you know, she fell off. But, man, she's done a lot for females in racing. She's brought a lot of visibility, you know, to that side of our lives and our sport, which I think we all respect and love. I'm going to miss here at the racetrack. And I just hope that we look at guys like Bubba, who, again, have a niche. And you say, hey, man, you just finish second. at Dayton 500. You got to keep competing.

You can't go your whole career like Danica did and run hundreds of races and only have seven top tens. You've got to be more competitive to that. Put yourself in a good situation, compete. And she admitted, I saw this week that maybe she didn't do everything she could have done to be as good as she could have been. And you know what? It's too late now.

She's still got a huge brand, and I hate to see her go. So, man, and she crashed. Mm-hmm. And burned. 35th. Right. So why would she go run Indy? Why would you at 30 plus years old go run Indy at 225 miles an hour and a casket on wheels?

Why not? I think she loves Indy cars. Not a fan. It scares me. It kind of sums up like her career in general. I think it's a great way to. God. It just seems dangerous.

It's definitely dangerous. But I mean, she loves it. So do it if you want. I mean, she'll probably never have an opportunity after this to do it. A good one. So make it the best. I mean, I get the Danica double, but I mean, just as a person I'm sitting here going, man, this just seems awful. I probably don't have any interest in driving an Indy car around there.

I would say if you asked all 40 drivers yesterday that run the Daytona 500, if they would be willing to run Indy 500, you might get five takers. Yeah, I don't even know if you get that many. Casey Kane would do it. Kyle Larson would do it. Kyle Busch has done it. Kyle Busch would do it. Beyond them, I mean, it's dangerous. those guys are a whole different level of crazy.

I said that at the Chili Bowl. Casey and I were hanging out. I was like, these people are nuts. And you do not want to tell me that at Chili Bowl. I'm like, these people are insane. You get there and you're looking at these cars and I'm like, hey, his arm's just kind of hanging out right here. He can reach over and touch the other car.

And be like, hey, buddy, good talk about there. Like, that freaks me out. Those people are crazy. Exactly how I feel every time you're racist. Insane. Anyway. Let's take a break. At one main financial,

We believe in the importance of community. That means partnering with our neighbors to reach common goals, lending a hand when it matters most, and commitment to our neighborhoods. Community isn't just where you are. It's where you make a difference. One main financial, not just in the neighborhood, but part of your community.

Providing personal loan solutions in one-on-one local service. One main financial. Your needs, your goals, your dreams. Offer subject to restrictions and requirements of the licensee. For licensing information, visit our website or call us. And we're back. So let's head into Fast Lane. Quick overview.

I'll give TJ and Brett a topic to bait, and they'll each have 30 seconds the voice of opinion, which I've learned will clearly go over. Casey, you're doing a wonderful job, by the way, for this to be your first show, don't you think so? Silent.

She's doing fine. I'm learning, guys. I'm learning. Two big ones took place in the first two stages on Sunday, were drivers being too aggressive, too early. Brett? I think so. I mean, I watched a lot of blocks that were made very late,

and I also watched a lot of blocks that were made when the guys behind them had entirely too much momentum for the block to even work. Sometimes patience is extremely important, and even more so, at a restricted plate track. Yeah, that's the only way these wrecks really happen is when guys are over-aggressive. And that's part of plate racing, too, and we have a lot. That's probably not going to go. It's not going to go away anytime soon or I think.

With the youth movement we have coming, these guys aren't comfortable riding. They want to lead. They want to win. So I don't see the aggressiveness level toning down anytime soon. There's a few things that can cause a wreck. Obviously, a driver misjudging something is going to definitely cause a wreck. But the main thing that causes wrecks at plate tracks is when the driver making the block doesn't get a little bit given to him from the guy that has the run on him.

Because at any point in time, the guy behind you, if he has a big run at you, He can wreck you. I mean, we saw it in the duels, we saw it in the truck race, we saw it in the affinity race, and we saw it in the cup race. If you're too aggressive, too early, you're just taking out your chance to win. The duels were run in qualifying trim on Thursday. Was this a positive or a negative change? I was all for it.

I liked it. I mean, that makes, we knew going into the 500 weekend that we were going to go for race trim, so we probably weren't going to go there and have a great shot at the poll, but we knew we were going to handle it. little bit better. And I think a lot of cars struggle with that. Right off the truck, everyone's scream by yourself. Everyone's like, I'm loose. I'm loose. By yourself. So, but I'm all for locking them cars in right after that and racing it. But I think it's better that way. The biggest positive for me was we saw two different races. I mean, we saw guys running single

file in the duels and guys trying to make moves. And they were, as TJ said, they were wrecking on their own. They were that loose because they were forced to trim their car out, try to get it to go as fast as it could. Well, then when it got in a pack, it didn't handle as well. Daytona 500. I was worried it wasn't going to be exciting because of what I saw in the duels. But teams got to build downforce into their cars. And when we rocked out of there for Sunday for the 500, we put on a hell of a show.

Yeah, I'm always, I love impound stuff. It keeps, it's a lot less work, a lot less swapping the car over, changing a lot of stuff. And I'm all for that type of. And it was one less practice. Yeah, well, that too. One less practice, and I just like impounds. Dude, I got some real bad on my right arm. I had to wear one of those Carmela Anthony sleeves all weekend

because I thought I was going to have to go to the merch room or something. Your nose is a little red there, too. I don't know, Rudolph. Well, I only turn two colors, red or really white. I don't do the brown thing good. Well, you got the red part down. And now I'm going to itch and peel. True.

Oh, that sounds great. Yeah. in the future, would we like to see more? We probably would. But I think when you look across all sports now, the idea of sending someone home with a major sponsor doesn't happen in sports today. And it's not just a reality for NASCAR,

it's a reality for all sports and motor sports in general. Do you agree or disagree with the statement? You know, I see what he's doing with this statement, but when I started in a sport 20 years ago, we had 70 cars trying to make the Daytona 500. We had a lot more owners that were involved in the sport. And I think that's when we were our healthiest economically. So I disagree with where he's coming from saying 40 cars is great because, I mean, let's look at the field.

We had seven or eight guys that weren't competitive from a speed perspective and a resource perspective. What are we looking at, T.J, $300,000, probably to go attempt to make this race. I'd probably say at least. Yeah. I tend to disagree a little bit as well here. To me it's kind of changed They've kind of changed the tone a little bit In my opinion

Now he's I don't know It's I liked when there's a lot of cars There was You know there was probably Only two or three cars that I felt like Weren't very competitive in the race

I saw some cars up Hanging with the pack That you know I thought the 32 was right Fifth or six there for a while Just marks, Dimendetto Yeah And they were they were doing a heck of a job

I think my struggle with his comments is he's kind of turning his head to the fact that we need to be able to attract more sponsors. And when we attract more sponsors, we have more teams, we have more cars. But we said when this charter thing came out, we said on this show, this is now a race to being a 36 car field. We're gradually doing that. We keep coming down more and more and more. And 40 was it for the Daytona 500. Who is the most surprising driver that has yet to win the 500? Oh, that's a good question.

Jason, did you come up with this all on your own? Did you see somebody ask this on Twitter? No, I sent it to you first and then she sent it back. That was a good question. I had this one saved up for a month or so. Okay, all right. He's doing his homework. Who's the most surprising driver?

Let's see here. I was trying to buy TJ time. Yeah. It's only about 20 seconds in. I've got to say Brad. In my opinion, it's got to be Brad. I mean, he's been close a lot. he wins a lot of plate races

and he is yet to win the 500. It's hard to argue against that one. I mean, that guy has had, Penske's had a lot of plate success. Brad's had a lot of plate success. You know, finally went out and won a duel. Certainly was one of the favorites going to the 500. So, man, I wish I had a,

I wish Elliot Sadler had won it when we were back in Eminem's days. And then we led the last 19 laps, 17 laps in the 19 car. That was heartbreaking. Clint, I want to win it. I just want to win it. Damn it.

It's a lot of fun to win that race. I'm sure. I wouldn't have any fun after at all. It's a lot less fun when you win it at 3 o'clock in the morning, though. I can tell you that much. Yeah. All right. Off the wall topic.

A lawyer in Germany has received hundreds of random pizza deliveries from an anonymous buyer and is pressing charges. If someone were to anonymously send you a food order 100 times, what would you want it to be? Oh, he's pressing charges. I'm like, I'll just take it all. We're calling him the pizza stalker. Oh, wow. Someone would honestly send me a food order 100 times. What would you want somebody to send you if they're just going to keep nailing you with it?

Food? I mean, I guess it's got to be delivery, so. Is it that difficult for you to figure that out? I like to eat, girl. Have you seen me? It's either pizza. It ain't like I live on Slim Fast over here. Man, chicken wings.

Just chicken wing me to death. I mean, how do you get? get mad at food. You just keep giving it away. Yeah, just give it to people. Take it to the shelter and give it to people that need to Germany is pizza and beer. This guy's got it made. First of all, why is this guy randomly sending

this guy pizza? It's a stalking deal of some sort. I found it on the AP Audities Twitter account. It's really weird, but it was just like a random stalker. I'm sorry, I'll tone it down. We went from producer Josh. We're not used to this stuff, man. Why are you working

so hard over there? Josh would unlock that door Five minutes after the show was supposed to start. Yeah, we'd look at Josh on his question Be like, did you really just ask that? I mean, wow. And he just throws his hands up. Yeah.

I don't care. Wow. You get a donut. Now we got this guy researching people. Thank you. Thank you. We're researching stuff in Germany for this show. And that's actually a pretty good question.

I mean, I had to think. Yeah, me too. I don't even know what I would just tell me the pizza. I'd eat more salads if they're a man of a pizza. Yeah. You're two-thirds of the way through this. show, Casey. I mean, it's been a long one.

I think I can handle it. We might have a few green and white checkers. You better be ready. If it's not even like the expended series, race, we'll be here for a while. Yes. Ask DBC. Producer Jason has chosen a few

Asked BBC questions to ask the guys here today. At 231, Matthew asks. Thoughts on all the blocking. Would you want your driver to win if you had to dump someone to do it? Was Austin's win legit?

I'm perfectly fine. I reckon somebody win the 500, to be honestly, if my driver, I don't like it when it's others, but if it's mine, fine. I haven't seen the video of a perfect, you know, a good replay of yet. I saw Eric's bumper. It looks like they were both doing what they thought they had to do. I don't really, you know, maybe when I watch it again, I'm going to, might go back and think Eric's going to owe this guy something here for driving through him like that.

I haven't seen it. But when two guys are going for the win in the 500, it's kind of a, who's going to do it if this were dale earnhard driving the three instead of austin dylan people wouldn't even be asking this question they would expect that was dale earnhart's emo he built his brand and legacy around being and i'm not going to take any from you i'm faster than you get the hell out of my way i'm going to win so this guy just asked this question is is win legit dude he's got the trophy he's got the money he kissed the girl yes it's legit it's the daytona 500 and he freaking won it Speaking of that.

Did he dump him? Yeah, he dumped him, but it's the Daytona 500. Yeah, and so real quick on the side here, a lot of them went and got tattoos last night. Did they? Like Tim Dugger, when he drops his pants, he'll see one on his ass. Shut up. They were talking about today on Sirius. Yeah, a tattoo.

A bunch of them, yeah, Dugger got a tattoo on his ass, yeah. Of a three? I don't know what he got. Well, when is he going to show it to you? And how is this going to happen? I think it was on, it was either on Instagram or Snapchat or something. And, oh, that's, I would have got the three, honestly. They got a wolf pack tattoo.

Now, this is going to get. I thought the lot, they get up with a wolf pack tattoos. I'm a one-man wolf pack, right? It's a wolf pack with a three. I'm pretty sure I'd have just done the three. Yeah, that's what I'm thinking. But then Teresa would have had to have. to give you permission to do the three.

And if you didn't get that in writing, she would have sued you and you would have had to have your ass skin graft because God forbid Theresa Earnhardt not make money on something that's got something to do with that. You know, you've seen that deal where Kerry Earnhardt can't use his name. Yeah. I wish we could call Dugger right now. I wish we could call Teresa. Or that.

I mean, there's always that. I would just listen to you. Somebody's got her number around here. Well, so the girl that got married, the Monster Ranger, girl her husband got engaged i think right she she's engaged she's engaged yeah they got engaged in Vegas okay so he got a tattoo as well on his ass apparently i don't know he's a big boy there it is he's a big boy i'm not going to make fun of his ass but duggers ass i'll make fun of it's not on his inner thigh is it yeah that's that great big dude on that oh i'm gonna tell you something i'm not putting it on my

ass no and i'm not doing a tattoo on some other dudes look at that's a okay that's a okay well so so we got Matthew you got your answer we just said ass more in the last three minutes than we've ever said on the show cumulatively but yeah his wins legit yeah the blocking was part of the part of the plan to try to win it and yep I dump somebody to win it any wins legit if you get an ass tattoo all right I think we need to move on from this one uh how drunk were you decide that you were going to do would you get a tattoo no what if uh but her ass If you had a Chad won the 500, would you get a tattoo?

No. He just asked me if he were the ever-win Chili Wolf, we could put his midget in the living room. And I agreed to that, but I will not do a tattoo or anything else. But let's be honest, a tattoo on her ass is going to look a lot better than a tattoo on your ass. And I'm not talking about, I mean male and female in general. Like, what guy wants a tattoo on his ass of a wolf pack? That's not normal. I can't imagine their wives are thrilled.

I always told my mom I was going to get an M on each cheek. You can be M&Ms? Stand up and say, Mom, do a handstand and say, wow. She didn't ever laugh at that. She got mad when I got my ears pierced. Can you do a handstand? She kicked me out of the house. Can you do a handstand?

Yeah. Without, I guess, a wall. If you'll hold my feet. I watched Danica wall down the beach on her hands. Come on, man. She's got tattoos. Next question. You think Aaron Rogers has seen them yet.

Oh, okay. Next question. Anna KJ asks, does it take a bit to get back in? Oh, does it take a bit to get back in the group after the off season? Or does it come back easily? It comes back fairly easily. I mean, you don't just forget it in a month and a half or two months or whatever. It is, I will say, if you don't do a truck or an arcar or something,

when you come out there and they're like, okay, come until you were drafting, it's like, damn, everything right here? I'm going to binocular, here we go. I mean, it's like straight from a mile and a half, two months off, and then, hey, we're coming out on a 20-car pack. Here it's come out, a new pack as you get ready. It's amazing how the first day that you're back at the track, it seemed like you hadn't been there forever. And by the third day, it's like you just left Homestead. You know, it all immediately runs back together.

It's like going back to school. I think the hardest thing we all try to accomplish in the offseason is spending as much time with our families as we can. And then, you know, once the season starts, man, you hate to say this, but. It's priority one for the first two months because you're gone so much. We just, we're gone for 10 days and we're getting ready to hit this West Coast swing. But, I mean, you know, it's not that hard to get back. Where you get screwed up or I get screwed up is they give me a week off. You know, and then you're, you got a week off and you go do fun stuff.

And then it's like, I don't want to go back to work. Yeah, that gets me more screwed up than the off season. No, and that's with like 5 million owes. Name 9 asks. Did any spotters have any words with each other from Xfinity or Cup with all the wrecks? Do you ever have to be split up? I'll leave this one for Brett. So I've had a confrontation or two, but I didn't have any this week.

So we got a friend and Matthew Dillner's in here with us, and he's buddies with these guys. So tab spots for who now? William? Tab spots for William Byron. Herm spots for Ricky Stenhouse. And they're buddies. They got this whole secret handshake thing they do. They clap three times.

They hold a number three up in the air and they go, woo. And I don't know what it stems from, but I'm going to guess it's got something to do with Dale Earnhardt, being from Canapolis, right? So at some point, we all know what point it was. Ricky Stenhouse wrecked William Byron in the duel.

He wrecked him. So Tab came down and started screaming at Herm, and I was standing beside a Herm. And then Tab walked off. And I looked at Herm and I said, hey man, why didn't you guys do that? secret handcheck thing y'all do and herm's like you're being a dick and i was like no not me um yes people people do get upset up there and we've said it before on this show that the hard part about our our

jobs is we can all get to each other we're standing very close to each other and when we think my my struggle is when i think the spotter did something stupid is when i get mad if the driver did something stupid i can't really help that but if the spotter could have done something to prevent it or if i think he did something to make it happen, then I'm pissed off. TJ just waits until the race is over. Then he's on an airplane and he starts texting. It's not always true. That one time I flipped you off.

That was a new hamster. Mike Davis was next to me on the roof. Brett looks up there and I'm just like, I'm surprised it's only happened one. There's stuff that happens every now and then. But like when you sit on pit road and you wait, your turn to roll out, and then this other guy comes out, and it just totally goes right over front of you.

That's spotter, in my opinion. He told him to go right then. And that's like, are you serious? I mean, see, you feel like that could have been prevented. Yeah. Sometimes the driver takes things into his own hands. That does happen. But like he said, sometimes when you feel like, you know, situations can be prevented from the spot or you get a little frustrated.

You see a lot of guys that are scared and then you see the other guy that's glad, you know, like it's one of those deals. I mean, it's very rare that both people are mad. You know, like it's just like Ricky versus Aaron Rogers. Do you think Aaron's mad at Ricky? No. But Ricky may be mad at Aaron. You know what I mean? Like, it's same way on the roof.

Like, it's very rare that you're both mad at each other. Only one's mad. Yeah. I get mad whenever I go to somebody and they, they respond to. Well, I told him. It's like you didn't tell him. You recommended it. Yeah.

You said, oh, I got one in turn four. And then the driver just goes instead of, hey, we're going to go behind the one in turn four right now. Then that tells him where you're going to go, well, I told him. No, you suggested it. You didn't tell him. Yeah. So, oh, well. I'm just going to start screwing everybody over.

I don't even see any other cars on the track anymore. Tyler Green's the best at it. He just sends his cow out there in the middle of the front of everybody. I did it run for McMurray. Yeah. Did you know, remember? Yeah. Yeah.

Should we not talk about? Nah. I'll tell you later. Okay. All right. So this week we're trying something new called Call Me. And I'm going to pass it off to producer Jason to call our, well, First fan.

Yeah. All right. Megan Nelson. Let's Google her. Jason slid into the DMs too, man. Good morning. This is Megan. Hi, Megan.

Hey. Hello. Hey, girl. What's you doing? Hello. What are you doing? Not anything exciting. I wish I was.

I'm sorry. So you're out of school today. I saw your tweet. We are. Yes. Kids and I are both out of school for President's Day. So yes. Well, we just,

Justin, I'm sorry, our new producer, Jason. Are you okay? Close. It's those Gamecock pants he's wearing. He's got me all messed up. He picked you to be the call me guest this week. Yay, it's very exciting. I think I'm the first one.

Is this correct? You are the first one. You're the first woman he's ever DM'd. That's not true. That's amazing. It's my privilege. So you have a good question for us? I do.

My question is, what Winter Olympic sport do you think you would do best in? Oh. Go ahead, Mr. Athletic. I think the easiest is got to be curling, right? That's the first thing I thought of. Because that just doesn't look hard. But I love to snow ski. So I would say that the downhill, I can't do moguls because I'm too fat.

You would wreck at the first pin. And I don't really. want to do slalom because that's a lot of turns but just pointing skis downhill for three miles i got it that's me that's what i'd be good at tj what would you do uh i would like to try this the um snowboarding deal that looks always looks fun and when they fall they don't really wreck hard they just kind of slide down what version of snowboarding are we talking the ramp deal the half pipe the 18 foot high ramp yeah sure you want to try it it's like a big hill you just slide back down it okay Casey what would you do You took mine.

I was going to say the snowboarding. But have you guys seen the biathlon or by whatever it's called? It has like a gun in it. When she started saying bye, I didn't know where she was going with this. No, there's like an actual sport and they have like a gun. It's interesting. I know. Buy a gun.

Oh, whatever. So what do you do? So what do you do? I don't know. I just remember a lot of people talking about it. I have not seen that. But yeah, I wash a little bit of the downhill skiers and that scares me. They are flying down.

And that one guy, when they slide, they go. going there and hit that fence. Then they twist all around. I don't want to do that. Megan, you're cute and skinny on your little Twitter bio. What are you doing, girl? I am from Rockford, Illinois. We're about 90 minutes west of Chicago. Oh, nice. So what do you, you have a busy week with school after today? Oh, we do. Yep, kids and I'll go back to school. I'm a school counselor up in the area, high school counselor. So, yeah. You're not going to believe this, but we could use some counseling down here if you want to head this way. We always use some counseling.

So we have a new co-host today as well, Casey Haines. I heard. Hi. Thank you. She's going to need counseling after this. Clearly. She can call me anytime. You have my number now.

I might just do that. So are you a listener of all the shows? I am, yes. I was very excited that we started this season back up, so yes. What is your favorite part of the show? Hmm, what is my favorite part of the show? I don't, anything that makes me laugh, you know, with the news today and things today, anything that can just put a smile on my face, I'm up for. If you could see the length of red shorts right now, you would probably laugh.

They're halfway up his thigh. Yeah. That would be a good laugh. Well, anyway, well, thank you for your question. Who's your favorite driver? Oh, back in the day, I was a Bill Elliott fan, so I got to go with Chase now. My kids like Kevin Harvick, and we've been watching time. Majeski, the up-and-coming driver race, too.

Well, that's interesting. Yeah, yeah, that's awesome. You're watching some up-and-comers there as well. So, all right, well, thank you for the question and keep listening. All right. Thank you guys so much. Have a great day. You too.

And I just looked at the biathlon, it combines cross-country skiing and rifle shooting. So it exists. I wasn't doubting that it existed, but skiing on flat terrain sounds hard. It is. I feel like everybody You have to work. Those guys shooting those guns are cool, man. Like you watch them breathe out

and stop breathing to shoot like those marksmen that do that deal. That's cool. Yeah. Do you shoot guns? No, actually I don't. But you want to do an Olympic sport that you got to shoot a gun.

Like if I could be good at it and then ski. Women can't understand why we can't understand them. It was just the thought of doing it. I went to the Olympic sport where you shoot guns. I went to the gun range with Natalie and I will admit I was, a little scared to do it just because he was so loud. But I think if I could do it for the Olympics, I'd be pretty great at it.

Did you do sports growing up? I danced. Okay. So maybe. What was your favorite sport going? Can you do a T for us right now? Yeah. I won't.

How about a back bend? Yes. You can do a back bend right now. Like Natalie Decker? Maybe not as good as her, but I used to be able to. When this show is over. What's Natalie Decker got to do with a backbend? You ever seen her Instagram?

Yeah. No, I can't do Instagram. I don't understand it. You can stalk. You can stalk people. Now we know what TJ does. Do they know you're talking? Everybody does.

No, they can't check and see who you're looking at now. Can you zoom in all the pictures? Yeah. Don't accidentally like it, though. I don't know if I should be giving him this advice. I don't understand Instagram. You don't need to. You just need one follow.

That's it. That's it. So what is this Natalie Decker girl? She does backbends? Oh, yeah, all the bands. Yeah. Like more than Danica? Danica does some crazy yoga poses.

Yeah, I would say equal. Equal? Yeah. Natalie Decker, she's cute, right? Yeah. Love when you put T.K. on the spot. He's like, yeah. Yeah.

She was on the pole when Arka. Finished fifth. That was cool. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, she ran. She stayed out of trouble. That's all you have to do with that race half the time.

in the Midwest. Where's she from? Who? Wisconsin. Is that the Midwest? Yeah. I don't understand how it's the Midwest and it's South Dakota Midwest. How is that possible? It's north. Do we need to get a map in here?

It should be mid-northwest. Midwest to me means it's in the middle toward the west. That's way north. We don't call Florida. I mean, Florida's southeast. It's weird. Like upstate New York isn't all the way. Like they call like Syracuse upstate or even like even the Watkins Glenner they sometimes they're upstate New York.

But like it is upstate compared to like if you're in the city, you're going upstate. You know how tall New York State is? Where does the Midwest stop geographically? California. I wish we could just take a chainsaw and cut California off the United States and let it float out into the ocean and become its own country. Can we do it right below Sonoma? First of all, they're idiots. out there. I got family who lives out there. I can say every bit of what I'm getting ready to say.

They're idiots. They're crazy. They don't think like the rest of America. They don't govern like the rest of America. They have more citizens, higher taxes, and they're broke. How is that possible? Imagine being a race team with the most sponsors of anybody and then be in the shape of the race and that BK racing is in where you don't pay people that work for you. God, California's drive me nuts. I'm sorry we got off on that tangent. Let's go back to Casey who wants to shoot guns in the Olympics except without knowing the only going. Now T.J. showing me to Natalie Decker's Instagram.

Oh, we could do this after. Ooh, she does it on planes. Okay, okay. We got this. All right. So we are one race down heading to Atlanta. What are you guys looking forward to most? Wow.

Look at this post. You can zoom in. Yeah. That's pretty hot. Get out of my DMs. I think Casey needs to get some pants like that wearing my next show. If anybody follows Brett on Instagram, him, just be aware.

Follow me because I don't know how to. I got a, TJ's got to tutor me later. Atlanta. I'm not good at it. So here's the only thing we don't want to see happening in Atlanta is rain. Because if it rains, that track doesn't dry fast. But stop showing me these poses. I'm trying to concentrate.

TJ, he already can't focus. He is a stalker. She shouldn't post some of that. Maybe somebody, gosh. I'm sweating. I would be too about them shorts on. Atlanta is slick. It has different seams.

It's like a rock and ham used to be, but on steroids, and now she's in the ocean over here. Dude, why does she put this out there for everybody to see? I'm so sorry, guys. All right. Do I need to take your phone away? That has a full split in the water. Can you do a full split?

No. No, but you can catch me like Patrick Swayze if you want. You can do the swan. Now I... Yep. At the time of my life, I never felt this way before. Nobody puts T.J. in a corner. Yes, I swear.

What a great movie. Oh, my God. I love that movie. That is one of my favorite movies all the time. I swear to God. It is a good movie. Chick-filix that and 50 first dates. Man, like, Day 25, when she wakes up, she don't know who the hell he is.

I just start crying. Because I'm like, I mean, Chad Boat can be that guy, it sounds like, based on his marriage proposal. Yeah, he's pretty. I think if you forgot who he was, that he would do that for you. He can pull out some romance one. Let me tell you. That proposal was impressive.

Yeah, I agree. It's ridiculous. Anyway, T.J., what you think about Atlanta? Y'all, I've missed my opportunity to speak out. Hang out. Hold up. Oh, God. Do I need the buzzer back on this one? Love Atlanta.

Love it even more when they said they weren't going to repave it last year. That was one of the best things I've seen in the news, racing news in a long time. I agree. It's old, slick, wore out. these drivers have their hands full, which I love to see. It'll be fun to watch. Can't wait. It's what you want a mile and a half to be.

It's exactly what it's got some bumps. It's got some character. It wears out. You know that after two laps, you're going to be sideways off of turn four. Yeah. And these guys, I mean, they have their hands full. Our best two racing surfaces that we go to all year are Atlanta and Fontana. If you live within 200 miles of those places and you're listening, go unless they're

caught in rain, then stay home. They, one thing about these, a lot of these racetracks is they're just, they're not racing the racetrack a lot. You're racing for air. Yeah. When you go to Atlanta, you're racing the racetrack because that, that's the, you're having trouble with the, you know, the grip's a problem. You go to some of these places they're just repaved. It's so smooth, so fast. You go around in a corner because there's another guy in front of you and you can't run there.

Not because, you know, you don't have grip. It's the air. Yeah. At Atlanta, I mean, you can run up on a guy because he's so loose in the bottom, like I'm turn three. you know if you get within four, you know, half a quarter of a car length of that guy and middle of three and four, he's going up the racetrack. Yes.

And it's awesome. Yeah. So love it. It's a challenging place to spot because we do run in all four to five lanes that are there. And the runs can come from either side. And when somebody puts on new tires, they're two seconds faster. I mean, it looks like they're an F1 car coming at. One of my favorite things in NASCAR is whenever you can pit and tires matter.

I love when tires matter. Yeah. And tires need to go back to mattering at Daytona. They need to go back to mattering. Everywhere. Hey, should you pitch? Should we stay out? Okay, well, the guy's coming from 10th on tires.

Let's see how far he gets. Yeah. I think that's awesome. Yeah. Well, man, we did a lot today. Casey, you did pretty good. Thanks. I'm impressed.

Still a rookie, but we're in a video of back being when this is over. Oh, we are not. Yes. Do you have anything to rant about? I feel like you've ranted a lot today. I just got one thing I want to say. Of course you do. Love yoga pants, right?

How dumb is it? that we have to wear patches on our sleeve to be on the roof to spot a race. I've been doing this 20 years. I have a hard card. I have a roof pass. And now I have to wear a piece of Velcro. It's $20 million a team to fill the cup car. And we got to wear a Velcro patch.

You ain't going to speak to it? You're scared? I don't have anything to say about it. You're scared. Go to church. I've seen better ideas. Like, what is it approving, though, for us to wear it? I kind of understand the crew guys.

Well, my thing is when I first saw this when it first came out, I knew I didn't talk about it. I thought it was supposed to be, the crew members were supposed to be identifiable to fans. In the garage up there, they were supposed to look down and be like, okay, that's the crew chief, okay, that's the shot guy, okay, that's the spotter. This does nothing for that, and it simply does, honestly, does nothing, nothing for us on the roof either.

The official checks you in by your car number, Whether you have a patch or not, you're getting, it's worked for as long as I've been spotting, my whole spotting career. You go up there, you check in with the car you're with, your car's out on the racetrack. Right. Now I have to hunt down this patch, which is difficult for some of us because I have the 22 again in Xfinney this week. I also have Cindrick in this 60 car in Vegas. So now I have to go hunt down this 60 patch in order to spot this car. in practice. Whenever I could just go, hey, spotters here, you can check me off. I got a 60.

It's in Moreos. Here we go. You're clear. Now I got to go hunt down this patch for, I mean, whatever. It seems crazy. Yeah. Here's the thing. Here's where it came from. You know, you look at a team like RCR. They had eight teams last year across Xfinity and Cup. Now they have five teams total across Xfinity and cup. They laid off over 100 people. Teams like RCR went to NASCAR and said, we need to cut costs. We need to limit how many people can travel, help us police ourselves. So NASCAR responded with this rule about, hey, this is how we're going to do it. We're going to have rosters. And they've limited the amount of people that can be on a roster on a team.

But the reality is the driver has to be in the car for the car to go on the racetrack. The spotter via the rule has to be on the roof for the car to go on the racetrack. So why do we have to be reaccounted for with a patch that I can A lose, B, it does nothing to help me do my job. See, as you said, it doesn't make me identifiable. media are a fan there's no value in it take away the patch yeah there's just no sense in it in my opinion it's there's something else we have to keep up with take your paper down and matt's going to get mad at it's a little low i still see the camera yeah we got all these rules on this show now yeah we're gonna need a patch on the show natalie mike davis who's in career do you see that tweet last night

where he said elliott said have fun in career he's like where the hell's career are you in korea he said it's an 18 hour flight huh 18 hour flight to Korea. Career. Good. I hope he has the worst flight ever. Hope Mike does. He said Del Jr. kept saying he wants sushi.

I thought that was in Japan. That's kind of water the whole area. I thought they did Mongolian barbecue in Korea. Isn't that their thing? What is Mongolian barbecue? What is that? You've never been to Ann Arbor, Michigan, that Mongolian barbecue place? No, I'm not eating it.

Oh, my. Dude, you just go in there and you pick out what you want to eat, like bell pepper and, chicken and red onion and then they put it all together and cook it. Oh, are you sure it's chicken? Well, it might be cat. That's what I want. Hey, they eat dogs in career.

Did y'all see that? We talked about that last week, didn't I? I mean, I know it's a tradition. I won't. Maybe I'm with you. I'm not eating it over there. I'm not eating it over there. You know, I mean.

I went to Mexico when I was 18 years old. We went in through Encinata, San Felipe. Like, we went way south. And we had a bunch of buddies going deep sea fishing. and we sat down the restaurant and I ordered steak and one of the Hispanic guys that he said hey Brett how many cows have you seen since we've been down here and I said man I hadn't seen any and he's like you just ordered steak he said you're not going to get steak I'm from here and I'm like damn so I didn't eat it yeah I would hope not what do you think it was

man I didn't even cut into it German Shepherd horse oh all right all right I think we've ranted enough. DBC picks for the week. Go ahead, loser. So let me tell you this. T.J. finished fourth with Lugano. Sheet down.

Sorry. I got to watch my sheet. T.J. finished fourth with Lugano. I wouldn't have picked anybody that beat Joy Lugano. So I did the right thing there by picking Danica Patrick. And this week I'm swinging for the fence because Chevy's got a new nose. That's going to help them, but I don't think.

It's going to be as big of a deal here. I want to pick Kyle Larson, but I'm a little bit worried about this new nose because their balance may be off. They may have too much front-down force and he may be too loose. I'm going with the guy who just won a championship Martin Truex. Oh, wow. You're going to sling it. You are swinging for the fence. Well, in that case, I.

This takes a really long time. Yeah. Do we need the buzzer for this one, too? Yeah, we need a timer. Really? One fan told me, whatever you do for the show this year, please hurry T. T.J. up on his picture. That's when I...

Can you play that? Yeah. Now get that Nally Decker stuff back up. Oh, yeah. Didn't we make a girl famous on here? I'll tell you. I'll tell you. Amy Lone.

Amy Lone, we got her a bunch of new followers on Twitter. Remember? That's true. She's hot. This Nally Decker does better Instagramming. She does. Who you picking? You know, man, my guts telling me McMurray.

So he likes the High Line. Highwide and handsome. I'll take McMurray back with it. Good, good pick. All right, well, I think we've talked enough today. Thank you, one main again, for sponsoring the podcast, as well as Exalto for this awesome studio. Yes. Give us some feedback.

Leave a review. Let us know if we're great, if we suck, you know. Casey, what do you like to take shots of? Shots? Yeah. Oh, I don't really like shots. I'm scared to answer this one. Why?

It's either like tequila or something else. Our last co-host, Kristen, would take shots, tequila. No, I can't do tequila. What can you do? At some point on the show, we're taking shots. So you got to, he's too damn young. He gets the water. Yep, water shot.

Water shot? I realize that you're saying you've broken the law. Jello shots? Yeah. I like jello shots. Yes. I could deal with that. What's that one?

The pudding shots, those are good. Buttery. Pudding. Pudding shot. Yeah. Buttery nipples? What? I would like that.

So those are I want to know I want to know the technique of taking the pudding shot because this may be worth a JRM 360 There's enough hot girls at work here There's enough hot girls at work here Natalie that a

How do you take it? How do you take it? No it's a shit. Can we video that? That is enticing. Natalie Decker is invited Amy Long is invited There's enough hot girls in this building.

Shana, Megan, Kristen, Casey, Natalie, Kelly Earnhardt. Oh, boy. You're fired. Carson isn't 21. My first show is going to do my last show. She's not even 18. How do you take a jello shot? How do you take a jello shot?

I'm down with these pudding shots. How do you make them? Is it go to Pinterest to get a recipe or where do I go? You can go to Pinterest, but Natalie makes them really good, too. They're like the cookies and cream one. Did you? Matt Dillner's going to take these GoPro cameras. So you've had those shots before.

We're going to get the mood lighting right. How do you take one of them shots? Do you simply just... You have to like, you can't... Can you pretend you're doing it? I'm scared. I'm scared to, like, do any sort of the visual because of the... Why?

So how do you do it? You have to, like, use your... I don't even know. Use your finger, and then usually you end up having to lick it off your fingers. That's it. You don't put the cup up to your mouth? I mean, you don't. You can do that too.

Okay. This has been a wonderful ending to our second show of the year. Casey, we're going to let you come back. Yeah, this is. Flexible. You like pudding. I don't know if I want to come back out to that. I know.

You had to get put on the spot at least once to be, you know. Oh, man. Like, this is like hazing or something. Thanks everybody for this thing. Yeah. Thanks, guys. We will tweet Casey's handle out later. Yep.

I think Natalie already did it. Yeah. We got more followers than Natalie. I'll see you on the gram. I'll see you on the Instagram. Is that what it's called? The gram? Yeah.

That's what the kids are calling it. The gram. The gram. I don't think we've ever called it that. IG. Are you an IG? I'm leaving. All right.
